who is planning to ride thru the upcoming heat wave?

[scorch]

did 48 miles roundtrip today, and by the time i was nearing home i ran out of juicy climbing hills with no shade. Riding on the capital crscent trail was easy because its a few degrees cooler!

I find no matter how slow i ride, i still get all sweaty.

Definitely a warm and sticky ride in this am. Let’s see what the day brings…

My commute is short, so biking wasn’t really a hardship today or yesterday. This is my first year of bike commuting. It feels less terrible, actually, riding along with my big roomy t-shirt* catching a breeze than sitting, squinting, in my car, waiting ages for a left-turn signal.

*This is probably not correct cycling gear but it works for me.

Correct is what works for you. We’re not the fashion police here. Well, maybe, kinda, sorta…. :p

So, I’ll never make it into Cycle Chic. I’m OK with that.

National just posted a temperature of 101 at 4pm so definitely take it easy out there! Yesterday I sprayed as much water on my head as I drank.

Storms are starting to pop now too so if you delay leaving keep an eye on the radar.

It was frigging hot. I was spinning 18mph watching my HR at 165 – that’s nuts.

I’m west of town, storms are firing up here and moving east now.

Much better than last night. I think that SW breeze that kicked up in advance of those storms cleared out some of the low level pollution. (Plus it was a tailwind for me!)
